The call center company Go Excellent will close its division in Östersund, resulting in the redundancy of 134 employees. No other offices in the Go Excellent group are affected. The division in Östersund represents about 5 per cent of the group's turnover. The reason for the closure is that commissions have decreased by over 50 per cent over the last year. The entreprise will now be run by a receiver.
